MSI Modern 5-string electric violin, Mojave Burst over a quilted maple top

The Modern violin from MSI (Maloney Stringed Instruments) may be the ideal answer for the tone purist who's been on the hunt for an electric violin that sounds as natural as their acoustic. The combination of a semi hollow-body design and MSI's own transducer bridge yield an electric violin that has a convincingly natural violin tone when played through a good acoustic amplifier. The bass notes are rich and warm, and the E string has plenty of brilliance, but isn't overly bright or harsh.

Former ZETA luthier Dan Maloney brings a mature design aesthetic, immaculate craftsmanship and shimmering violin tone to the high-end electric violin market through his hand crafted MSI line. The figure in this MSI Modern violin's quilted maple top really compliments the shape of Dan's modern body style, and the transparent ombré "Mojave Burst" finish is a beautiful final touch.

This refined 'Modern' body design reflects a mature aesthetic that showcases the clarity of Dan's vision; his choice of wood, attention to detail, and careful craftsmanship. The result is a subtle work of art that is also an exceptional tool for the working musician, and a lightweight, comfortable instrument that feels like home to the classical player.

The proprietary MSI multi-piezo transducer bridge produces exceptional tone, preserving the round, open tone of the semi-hollow instrument's acoustic resonance while producing a sweet, focused sound that's strong but not at all electric-sounding or overpowering.

Includes:

• Lightweight Protec case
• Wittner geared pegs for fast easy tuning and great tuning stability with a classic ebony look
• D'Addario Helicore multi-stranded steel core strings
